While holding the reel securely on the plate and
maintaining pressure on the front roller, rotate
the upper right roller mounting bolt. This mount-
ing bolt has an offset, which when rotated, acts
as an eccentric (cam) to raise or lower the roller.
On the bolt head there is an internal diameter dot
which denotes the offset of the bolt. The dot
indicates in which direction the right end of the
roller moves when the bolt is turned.
Note: If additional adjustment is required,
replace one screw on the left-hand bracket with
another bolt, part no. 93-2573. Make sure that
both front roller brackets are in the same hole.

To verify whether the roller is level, try inserting
a piece of paper under each end of the roller.

When the roller is level, tighten the nuts secure-
ly.

Adjusting the Top Bar
Adjust the top bar, under the rear shield, to assure
clippings are cleanly discharged from the reel area.
1.
Loosen the screws securing the top bar. Insert a
1.5mm feeler gauge between the top of the reel
and the bar and tighten the screws. Assure the
bar and reel are equal distance apart across the
complete reel.

cutting units.
The bar is adjustable to compensate for

changes in turf conditions. It should be adjusted
closer to the reel when the turf is extremely wet.
By contrast, adjust the bar further away from the
reel when turf conditions are dry. The bar
should be adjusted whenever you change the top
shield height.
